When understanding your patterns doesn’t stop you from overriding yourself, the answer isn’t more analysis, it’s learning to listen differently.

This work doesn’t go deeper into the story. It goes into the body, where hesitation, bracing and habitual yeses actually show up. It’s for women who are done trying to think their way into change and are ready to make choices that don’t require leaving themselves behind.

Intuitive healing practitioner offering trauma-informed somatic therapy in Lisbon

When insight isn’t enough, the body is the missing piece.

Hi, I’m Amanda. I help women who already understand their patterns but are still living them, still contorting for connection, still overriding themselves, still stuck in the same relational loops.

Most of the women I work with have done the mindset work. They’ve read the books. They’ve been in talk therapy. They can name their attachment style and trauma history, yet they may lash out, point fingers and/or stonewall the ones around them, when it matters most.

That was my experience too.

For years, I believed insight would change everything. It didn’t. What finally did was learning to work with the body because survival identities and patterns aren’t formed in the mind and self-abandonment doesn’t live there either.

As I began listening to my body instead of overriding it, things shifted. The chronic tension, the urge to stay agreeable or small stopped being problems to fix and became information to trust. Over time, this work dismantled the identity I had built around keeping the peace and rebuild a sense of Self that felt grounded, clear and my own.

I became a coach because I saw how many women were living the same way, shaping themselves around approval, disconnection or fear, while slowly losing contact with their own truth. I wanted to create a space where women could reconnect in the way most of us were never taught: through the body, through lived truth and through self-belonging.

Today, I support women through trauma-informed, body-based identity work that meets them exactly where they are. No two bodies are the same, so no two sessions are either. This isn’t another self-improvement modality, this is learning how to live without leaving yourself behind.

let's begin together

When it comes to building self-trust,
you have two paths.

Let’s find the one that fits where you are

Client experiencing deep relaxation and body reconnection through somatic work in Lisbon.

Are you ready to stop making choices from survival and start
living from self-trust?

If you’re a woman who’s built a life while overriding herself and you’re ready for clearer boundaries, steadier decisions, and relationships that don’t require self-abandonment, this work offers a direct, body-based path forward.

  • Through these sessions, you may experience:

    • Clearer decision-making and communication

    • Stronger, more consistent boundaries without self-betrayal

    • Healthier, more aligned relationships and dating choices

    • Fewer repeating relational patterns rooted in people-pleasing

    • Greater agency over your choices, pace, and how you show up

    • Increased emotional capacity, stability, and self-trust

    • More available time, energy, and mental bandwidth in daily life

    • Greater trust in your nervous system and internal signals

    • Embodied boundaries you can feel and rely on

    • Access to emotions previously held beneath numbness or armor

    • Release of tension and survival-based patterns held in the body

    • Restored breath, presence, and vitality

  • This work is for women who have spent much of their lives prioritizing connection, approval, and safety, often at the expense of themselves.

    You may recognize yourself if:

    • You’ve lived from people-pleasing or relational survival

    • You often abandon your needs to maintain connection

    • You feel disconnected from your identity, desires, or sense of self-worth

    • You struggle to know what you want or to trust your own choices

    • Boundaries feel confusing, unsafe, or hard to express

    • You repeat relationship patterns rooted in self-abandonment

    • You make decisions from fear or habit rather than from truth

    • You feel empty, fragmented, or unrooted beneath the roles you play

  • Each 1:1 session is intuitive, collaborative, and tailored to your needs. We may explore:

    • We begin with conversation, naming what you’d like support with.

    • Instead of only talking about patterns, we notice how they live in the body.

    • Together, we track sensations—tightness, bracing, numbness, trembling—where the root of old patterns reside.

    • Through gentle practices (breath, movement, awareness), you learn to feel these patterns in real time.

    • As your body becomes familiar with these signals, you begin to recognize them in daily life.

    • This opens space for new choices—where once there was only repetition or shame.

    • Sessions are collaborative, consent-led, and paced to your body’s readiness.

    • Space to process emotions in a supportive, non-judgmental container

    You’re always in charge of the pace. Consent, co-regulation, and emotional safety are central to everything I do.

  • Sessions can be held in person in Lisbon or online via Zoom.

    • 6 month package:

      • (2) 1-1 calls per month

      • Unlimited Voxer M-F and community access

      • Access to 12 week course

Somatic Sexology

Eros is not just sex. Eros is the pulse of life itself— the raw current that wants to move through you, to create, to connect, to expand. When we listen to the erotic body, we reclaim what was buried under shame, numbness, or fear.

  • Themes we could explore:

    • Reconnect with pleasure, desire, and erotic vitality

    • Release shame, numbness, or disconnection from your body

    • Explore intimacy, kinks, or new dynamics with safety and curiosity

    • Restore confidence, embodiment, and self-compassion in your sexuality

    • Deepen relationship with your body, partners, and erotic truth

  • These sessions may be for you if you:

    • Feel a longing to reclaim your sensual aliveness
      Are healing from sexual trauma or shame

    • Experience loss of libido, numbness, or hypersensitivity

    • Desire support around intimacy, communication, or boundaries

    • Want a safe, playful, judgment-free space to explore your erotic self

  • Each session is a co-creation—sometimes gentle, sometimes playful, always guided by your body’s wisdom.


    We may weave:

    • Somatic bodywork & trauma-informed touch

    • Erotic education & intimacy coaching

    • Practices for boundaries, communication, and pleasure

    • Space to explore desire, fantasy, and self-expression

    No two sessions are alike; your body sets the pace.

  • Sessions are 90 minutes and can be held in person in Lisbon or online via Zoom.

  • Caro H, Brussels

    Amanda carries a kind of presence that sees into your soul, not with intrusion but with invitation. During our practice, she offered words of appreciation that touched something so tender in me… something I didn’t even know was longing to be seen. I felt deeply understood and so loved, exactly as I am. Her laughter, her honesty, her willingness to be raw & real… it created a sacred kind of mirror. Human to human. Soul to soul. The container we co-created felt like a living thing, a shared heart-space filled with truth, tenderness, and so much awe. Her loving words are painted on the walls of my heart’s chambers.

  • Len R, Warsaw

    Amanda has an amazing intuition that allows her to softly nudge you towards self-exploration that feels both nourishing and grounded. Her inquiries and questions hit the nail on the head - without ever feeling too much or intrusive. As a person who slowly opens up to new people - I deeply appreciated her personally adjusted sessions and discovered heart-warming insights that will stay with me for a long time.

  • Fiona W, Ericeira

    I felt so safe and powerful. There was an immediate sense of connection, I felt seen and accepted from the start. Her energy is soothing and non-judgemental, grounded in honesty and presence. I dropped into my body with ease, held in her authentic and calming space. A perfect balance between softness, care and directness/professionalism. Trying and just going for it feels very easy with her. Thanks so much!

  • Alice W, Barcelona

    I want to marinate in Amanda’s words. Her ability to guide embodiment practices is so poetic evocative and really allowed me to drop deep into my body. I went on a journey with her during our coaching that left me feeling uplifted and seen.

  • Maria G, Lisbon

    Amanda made me feel welcomed, safe, and understood, her expertise, compassion, and support have been instrumental to my healing journey, her ability in creating a space free from judgment allowed me to explore difficult topics and gain new insights about myself. Highly recommend Amanda to anyone seeking support, guidance, and transformation.

  • Jennifer, Lisbon

    A lovely first experience of Reiki. I didn’t fully know what to expect, but I felt very safe and secure throughout my session and was guided and talked through each step. I’m sure it’s different for everyone, but I found it both a grounding and emotional session.

  • Sabrina M, Crete

    I came into my session with Amanda with a deep amount of heartache from an event in my life, and grief. Right before our session I also had experienced something that triggered fear. I came into our session then with grief and fear, and feeling physically tight at my root with it. Amanda supported me through a body-focusing session in which I was able to journey into that grief and fear. At no point did I feel her flinch with any kind of fear or judgement or rescuing — she just held an attuned, deep space for this story in my body to release. The depth of my grief scared me. It was an edge to feel and took me to unexpected visions and places, which Amanda helped me explore deeper and stay present with. This impromptu ceremony of a session was crucial in my overall grief process. I woke up the following morning not once more hit by the wave of the grief I was processing like I might expect, but it felt like something had distinctly cleared. I am grateful to Amanda for creating an exquisitely safe and vast space for me to process a depth of emotion I had never let myself feel quite all the way like that. It was profound and transcendent and truly a gift.

  • Jenn M.

    Working with Amanda has been nothing short of life-changing. Her presence is grounding, compassionate, and deeply intuitive. From the very first call I felt seen—not just on a surface level, but in all layers of my body and being. A way to connect what I now notice was disconnected. Through her skilled guidance, I’ve released tension and emotional patterns I didn’t even realize I was carrying. The somatic work goes beyond words—it’s a gentle unraveling that leads to clarity, peace, and a profound reconnection with yourself. A welcomed return to my body, I walk away lighter, more integrated and regulated every time. I am beyond grateful to be healing all thanks to Amanda and her amazing work.

We May Explore:

  • Enter the body where silence once lived. Here, safety is rebuilt not as theory but as sensation—cell by trembling cell.

  • Meeting the places that shut down desire, sensation, or voice. Not to force them open—but to listen until they soften on their own.

  • Guiding the flood of overwhelm back into flow, where your breath can move like water again.

  • Gathering the lost fragments of self, calling your spirit back into your bones after seasons of exile.

  • Holding the grief, the unspoken truths, the places love never landed—and letting them ripen into deeper presence.

  • Coaxing aliveness through the senses, letting the body remember her own language of delight and devotion.

  • Meeting eros not as danger, not as taboo, but as the holy current that longs to create, connect, and expand.

  • Growing confidence, compassion, and clarity in the body—so your yes and your no come from marrow-deep truth.
